* This document is a Chronological list of main facts connected to Y. Arafat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Names:

PFLP - People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine, supported by Soviet,
Polish People Republic, Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic, Syria
and some other Arabic countries

Baader-Meinhof - German left radical group, supported by Soviet, Polish People
Republic, Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic

Red Army Faction - international group(Japan), supported by Soviet, Polish
People Republic, Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic

Black September - People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine, supported by
Soviet, Polish People Republic, Czechoslovakia and German Democratic Republic,
Syria and some other Arabic countries

Army of Arab Lebanon, - founded by the Palestinians in Lebanon

Hizballah - is an umbrella organization of various radical Shi'ite groups and
organizations which adhere to a Khomeinistic ideology. The organization was
established following the 1982 Peace for Galilee War in Lebanon (and an
increased Iranian presence and influence in Lebanon). The Hizballah
organization was established as an organizational body for Shi'ite
fundamentalists, led by religious clerics, who see in the adoption of Iranian
doctrine a solution to the Lebanese political malaise. This included the use of
terror as a means of attaining political objectives

Hamas - (a word meaning courage and bravery) is a radical Islamic organization
which became active in the early stages of the Intifada, operating primarily in
the Gaza Strip but also in the West Bank. The Hamas has played a major role in
violent fundamentalist subversion and radical terrorist operations against both
Israelis and Arabs. In its initial period, the movement was headed primarily by
people identified with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the Territories.
In the course of the Intifada, Hamas gained momentum, expanding its activity
also in the West Bank, to become the dominant Islamic fundamentalist
organization in the Territories. It defined its highest priority as Jihad (Holy
War) for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of an Islamic
Palestine "from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River".

Terror connected to Palestinians.

1960-08-29
Jordanian prime minister and eleven others killed by bomb in the foreign
ministry building, Amman, Jordan. Two of the bombers fled to safety and eleven
others are sentenced to death for the attack.

1965-05-25
Three Israeli civilians killed in Al Fatah Palestinian terrorist attack on
Jewish settlement at Ramat Hakovash, Israel.


[ The Birth of Black September Immediately after their ejection from northern
Jordan and before their move to Lebanon, in August and September 1971, the PLO
had met in Damascus to lick its wounds and decide on a course of action. The
recollections of a member of the PFLP command who participated in the meetings,
and the length of time it took to reach a decision, attest to the lack of
agreement on what was needed to keep the flame of resistance alive. Moderate
Khalid Al Hassan, who had acted as de facto foreign affairs spokesman for the
PLO, was firmly opposed to the use of terror tactics. Arguing against him were
Abu Iyad, Abu Jihad, Kamal Adwan, Mi Hassan Salameh (Abu Hassan), George
Habbash of the PFLP and the DFLP representatives. Arafat straddled the fence
but was dead set against any such acts taking place under the name of the PLO
and in fact, Arafat suggested the use of a new name but the final decision to
create the Black September Movement it is reported that Arafat did not vote.

Black September thus came into being. It was a conglomeration of the leading
Palestinian resistance groups, and the PFLP in particular provided it with all
the expertise at its disposal and volunteers.

In Jordan, the PLO stronghold, many of the Fatah fighters and most of the
guerrillas belonging to other groups had moved into the major cities and turned
themselves into unruly armed gangs beyond the control of the local authorities.
King Hussein had a difficult time controlling his Bedouin army, and many
Jordanian politicians called for the reimposition of discipline and the rule of
law to keep the frequent clashes between the guerrillas and his soldiers under
control. In Lebanon something similar was happening. The clashes between
Arafat's men and the Lebanese security forces caused many deaths, government
crises and serious divisions within a country whose political structure, based
as it was on delicate sectarian divisions, could not accommodate too much
stress.

Between mid 1968 and the end of 1969 there were no fewer than five hundred
violent clashes between members of the various Palestinian guerrilla groups and
the Jordanian army and security forces.

Serious incidents included the kidnapping of Arab diplomats and unfriendly
Jordanian journalists, unprovoked attacks on government offices, rape and the
humiliation of army and security officers. The Palestinians, who were legally
entitled to set up road blocks, molested women, levied illegal taxes and
insulted the Jordanian flag in the presence of loyal Jordanians

Immediately after the Arab defeat of 1967 Syria started sending Palestinian
guerrillas into Lebanon to attack Israel. As soon as the PLO came to Lebanon,
the violence that was to destroy the country began.]

1968-03-18

1968-07-22
PFLP, operating under the direction of George Habbash's associate Dr Wadi'
Haddad, better known to Palestinians as 'The Master', carried out the first of
many spectacular plane hijackings: an El Al Boeing 707 plane flying from Rome

      1969-04-15
      Lebanon - fighting broke out again between the Lebanese Army and infiltrating
      guerrillas in the southern village of Deir Mimas. Disturbances were also
      recorded in several Palestinian camps. Four days later, another clash took
      place between army troops and armed Palestinians in the villages of 'Odeiseh
      and Khiyam, resulting in several casualties.

      1969-04-22
      Clashes between Lebanese Army and Palestinians were renewed in the south in
      which several guerrillas were injured and others detained. Clashes became
      recurrent as the number of guerrillas operating in Lebanon increased. According
      to
      Lebanese security sources, the number of guerrillas based in the south Lebanon
      by mid-1969 was approximately 4000. The majority belonged to Sa'iqa and Fateh.

      [ Confrontations with Lebanon government authorities were part of a Fateh
      strategy to establish a permanent military presence in Lebanon. According to
      George Hawi the head of the Communist Party, Arafat was uncertain about the
      precarious state of affairs that prevailed in Jordan in 1969 as well as about
      the PLO's ability to take over Jordan, as advocated by some Palestinian leaders.

      Black September had no single leader. Salameh was determined to endear himself
      to Arafat and became something akin to an adopted son, but Abu Iyad and
      Mohammed Yusuf Al Najjar were also determined to leave their mark. Najjar was
      not after personal glory, but Salameh and Abu Iyad were, and the latter in
      particular was determined to erase the stigma attached to him by Arafat for
      reaching an agreement during the fighting in Jordan which proved unacceptable
      to the PLO and its leader. This produced rivalry both for the leadership of
      Black September and for credit for the various operations.]

      1969-04-23
      In Sidon Lebanon, armed Palestinians demonstrators coming from Ayn al-Helweh
      camp stormed the municipality building in the city and clashed with security
      forces. In Beirut, the clash started in the Barbir area as demonstrators tried
      to force their way through internal security forces deployed on the scene. Two
      people were killed and many others were injured. The demonstration and the
      bloody confrontations that followed in Beirut, Sidon, Tripoli and the Beqa were
      not an accidental show of force. Clashes resulted in 11 people dead, including
      five Lebanese security forces and more than 80 injured.

      [ What made the demonstration qualitatively different was its political
      significance. It signalled, in the words of Mohsin Ibrahim head of the
      Organisation of Communist Action, 'the decision to open the battle' with the
      Lebanese government. Equally important was that it was viewed by the Left in
      Lebanon as a revolutionary event of unprecedented importance. For Lebanese
      Communist Party ideologue Mahdi 'Amil, the 'April 23 uprising' ('Intifada') was
      a political and ideological achievement of 'historic significance', with
      it, 'Lebanon's class struggle began' and a new political force was born 'to
      break the hold of the bourgeoisie-controlled' political system and 'to protect
      the Palestinian Resistance.

      The Lebanon was paralized as the President found it impossible to form a new
      government as the Sunni leadership refused to do so unless Lebanon started a
      policy of coordination with the PLO. That formula was the Cairo Agreement. The
      situation forced army commander General Emile Bustani to sign the an agreement
      in Cairo in November 1969 with Palestinian representatives. The Cairo Agreement
      granted to the Palestinians the right to keep weapons in their camps and to
      attack Israel across Lebanon's border and for their part the Plaestinians had
      to respect Lebanese laws and Lebanon's sovereignty. By sanctioning the armed
      Palestinian presence, however, Lebanon surrendered full sovereignty over
      military operations conducted within and across its borders and became a party
      to the Arab-Israeli conflict. ]

      1969-08- 29
      TWA hijacked by Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorists after
      taking off from Rome, Italy, led by Leila Khalid, and forced to fly to
      Damascus, Syria. All the passengers and crew were released unharmed but the
      terrorists exploded a bomb in the cockpit of the aircraft.

      1969-10-20
      Large numbers of Palestinain guerrillas began gathering on the western slopes
      of Mount Hermon in the Arqub region of Lebanon a few days later on the 29th
      these Palestinians fired on a Lebanese army patrol which resulted in the deaths
      of three Lebanese soldiers and the death one guerrilla with two injured.
      Imediatley Voice of Palestine broadcasts from cairo started to warn the
      Lebanese not to interfere with Palestinain raids into Israel.

      [ Lebanon -The army and its Deuxième Bureau was not able to control the flow
      Palestinian guerrillas infiltrating Lebanon from Syria, an attitude that
      angered Christians who saw the Palestinian armed presence as a mortal threat to
      Lebanon. In December 1968, the Lebanese government was humiliated when Israeli
      commandos landed at Beirut International Airport and destroyed thirteen Middle
      East Airlines and TMA aircraft with impunity. The Israeli strike was in
      retaliation for a series of Palestinian hijackings. The Lebanese army did not
      interfere with Israeli attacks into Lebanon in retaliation against Palestinian
      terror forces, the army and the Deuxiéme Bureau, and the government were
      charged with collusion with Israel by the Lebanese left. Kamal Jumblatt led the
      anti government chorus and demanded that Lebanon supports the guerrillas.]


      1970-02-10
      Three Arab terrorists attempt to hijack an El Al Boeing 707 at Munich airport,
      Germany, but are thwarted by the pilot who grappled with a terrorist in the
      terminal lounge. One Israeli is killed and eleven others wounded.

      1970-02-21
      PFLP terrorists blow up a Swissair 330 in midair shortly after leaving Geneva,
      killing 47.

      1970-05-14
      German left-wing terrorist leader Andreas Baader freed in rescue raid on West
      Berlin jail led by fellow terrorist Ulrike Meinhof. The two become notorious as
      leaders of the Baader-Meinhof gang.

      1970-09-06
      PFLP terrorists seize four airliners at the beginning of what would become
      known as "Black September." The hijackers demand the release of Palestinian
      prisoners in Germany, Switzerland, and Israel. They fly two planes to Dawson's
      Field in the Jordanian desert and blow up one in Cairo after releasing
      passengers and crew. On the fourth plane, the terrorists are overpowered and
      the plane returns to London. British authorities take Leila Khaled, who
      commanded the terrorist operation, into custody. The PFLP then demands Ms.
      Khaled's release and hijacks another plane bound for Beirut, landing a third
      plane at Dawson's Field. PFLP releases 255 hostages (retaining 56) and blow up
      the three planes. At the end of Black September, Great Britain releases Ms.
      Khaled and six other Palestinian guerrillas in exchange for the remaining
      hostages.

      [ On 6 September 1970 the PFLP, again acting on the instructions of the Master,
      Dr Wadi' Haddad, carried out one of the most memorable hijackings in history.
      They began with the simultaneous diversion to Jordan of a Swissair DC-8 and a
      TWA Boeing 707, which was followed six days later by the hijacking of a BOAC VC-
      10. The aircraft were forced to land at Dawson Field, 30 miles from Amman,
      which was quickly renamed Revolutionary Airport. Meanwhile another PFLP hijack
      team which had failed to board an El Al plane managed to hijack a Pan American
      Boeing 747 to Cairo and blow it up, while the media recorded the incident for a
      gasping world audience.

      The Jordanians were divided on what to do about the hijackers. Prime Minister
      Abdel Munim Al Rifai', a staunch PLO supporter who had repeatedly stood by the
      Palestinians while trying to get them to behave, remained adamant that a

        [ On 6 September 1970 the PFLP, again acting on the instructions of the Master,
        Dr Wadi' Haddad, carried out one of the most memorable hijackings in history.

        Boeing 747 to Cairo and blow it up, while the media recorded the incident for a
        gasping world audience.

        The Jordanians were divided on what to do about the hijackers. Prime Minister
        Abdel Munim Al Rifai', a staunch PLO supporter who had repeatedly stood by the
        Palestinians while trying to get them to behave, remained adamant that a
        settlement should be negotiated. Other Jordanian politicians, notably former
        Prime Minister Bahjat Talhouni, former deputy Prime Minister Akef Al Fayez and
        the popular politician Ibrahim Ezzedine, supported him. On the other side,
        advocating a crackdown, were Crown Prince Hassan, former Prime Minister Wasfi
        Tel, the dismissed trio of Sharif Nasser bin Jameel, Sharif Zeid bin Shaker and
        the former Minister of the interior Mohammed Rasul Al Kilani, politician Zedi
        Al Rifai (Abdel Munim's nephew) and most of the senior officers of Hussein's
        army. Although Hussein was in touch with the United States and Israel and had
        prepared for confrontation to the extent of dismissing several army officers
        with PLO sympathies and organizing a special force to deal with the situation,
        the outcome of the crisis depended on the PLO leader, Yasser Arafat, who seemed
        unwilling to discipline Palestinians.

        The day after the destruction of the hijacked planes King Hussein declared
        martial law, dismissed Rifai', recalled Field Marshal Habis Al Majali to active
        duty and appointed him commander in chief, and entrusted the formation of a
        military government to the Palestinian born General Mohammed Daoud. Arafat
        stormed around Amman making statements but there were no last minute moves to
        salvage the situation, even after the Arab governments showed little
        inclination to stand in Hussein's way.

        The fighting began the following day, with a Jordanian artillery barrage
        against the PLO stronghold of Zarqa. Within hours similar attacks were being
        directed against several areas of Amman, including the strategic Jabal Al
        Hussein, and on refugee camps such as Al Wahdat which had raised the flag of
        the Republic of Palestine. For the first time Arafat used the word 'genocide'
        to describe what was happening to the Palestinians, while urging his fighters
        to resist. The Palestinians acquitted themselves well, helped by his
        undoubtedly inspiring personal courage and stead-fastness. But Arafat's first
        disappointment came when Iraqi army units which he had counted on refused to
        come to his aid and were seen retreating to a distant safe area. But Arafat
        took the Iraqi 'betrayal' in his stride.

        On 18 September Arafat's men were still acquitting themselves well and the
        Jordanian army was failing to make any substantial progress, despite Hussein's
        expectations of an easy victory. The Arab countries and the Arab League issued
        appeals for a cessation of hostilities but did little else. By the end of the
        day, lack of organization and co-ordination was beginning to show and some
        Palestinian fighting units were running out of ammunition. By early morning on
        the 19th armoured units of the Palestine Liberation Army and regular units of
        the Syrian army invaded northern Jordan in a drive towards Amman. Arafat the
        propagandist rose to the occasion and declared northern Jordan a liberated
        area. The Arab League called for an extraordinary meeting of heads of state.
        Israel urged Hussein to continue and, in line with the secret agreement between
        them, code named Sandstorm, placed its forces on alert. The United States
        announced that naval units were converging on the eastern Mediterranean to
        reinforce the Sixth Fleet as a precautionary measure.

        The fighting in the streets of Amman was bloody. Neither side took any
        prisoners; both sides committed atrocities, many innocents were raped and
        killed, and most of the city was ablaze. In other parts of the country,
        besieged refugee camps were running out of food and water. Wherever possible
        people lived in shelters, while others abandoned their villages for the safety
        of empty spaces. No fewer than five thousand soldiers and officers of the
        Jordanian army defected to the PLO, but most did so individually: the fact that
        there was no defection by whole units left the army's organizational structure
        intact and enabled it to continue fighting, and did little to strengthen the
        PLO. After an initial setback, the Jordanians counter-attacked the invading
        force from Syria and pushed it back. When Israel sent his air force against it,
        the Syrian ground forces had to withdraw. What lay behind the Syrian move was
        Assad's calculating conviction that the use of his air force would bring the
        United States and Israel into the conflict. ]

        Agents of the Palestine Liberation Organization murder U.S. Embassy attaché
        Army Major Robert P. Perry at home in Amman, Jordan.

        1971-11-28
        Black September - an organization which was to leave an indelible mark on the
        history of political terror and the modern Middle East committed its first
        murder. Four armed Palestinians, operating in broad daylight and without the
        benefit of masks, shot dead the Jordanian Prime Minister, Wash Tel, as he
        returned to Cairo's Sheraton Hotel from an Arab League meeting. The
        assassination itself was followed by a gruesome ritual as one of the killers
        knelt down, lapped up and drank some of Tel's flowing blood and shouted several
        times that he and his accomplices belonged to Black September.

        1971-12-
        The following month the Black September group tried to assassinate Jordan's
        Ambassador to London, Zeid Al Rifai', a leading politician who had supported
        King Hussein's crackdown on the Palestinians.

        1972-02-
        Members of Black September blew up a West German electrical installation and a
        Dutch gas plant.

        [ These four acts of terrorism revealed a great deal about the organization
        behind them. Black September's fearless members were willing to defy major Arab
        governments, including the very important Egyptian one. The attempt to
        assassinate Rifai' in London demonstrated that they had international
        connections. The attacks against the West German and Dutch installations
        indicated that the plans of the new terror group went beyond eliminating
        individuals and included a threat to the economic infrastructure of the West on
        its home ground. ]

        1972-05-08
        Hijacking, of a Belgian Sabena plane flying from Vienna to Tel Aviv. Later that
        month, using their international connections and relying for assistance on
        members of the Japanese Red Army, the PFLP carried out an attack on Lod airport
        in Israel which left twenty-four dead.

        1972-05-11
        The Red Army Faction (also known in its early years as the Baader-Meinhof Gang)
        carries out six separate bombing attacks aimed at U.S. Army personnel and a
        West German Supreme Court Justice. One bomb kills an Army officer and injures
        12 other servicemen. A short time later, both Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof
        are captured and imprisoned.

        1972-05-30
        Using their international connections Popular Front for the Liberation of
        Palestine and Japanese Red Army terrorists open fire in passenger terminal of
        Lod Airport, Israel, killing twenty six civilians and wounding seventy eight
        others. Japanese terrorist Kozo Okamoto survives and is captured by the
        Israelis.

          During the Olympic Games, the Massacre Munich. Two Israeli athletes were killed
          when hooded Palestinians raided the Olympic grounds and took another eleven as
          hostages. Later, in a twenty-three-hour drama, a German attempt to lure the
          kidnappers failed and in the ensuing shoot-out nine more Israeli athletes, five
          of the eight gunmen and a German policeman perished.The three surviving
          kidnappers were captured by the Germans but freed later after the hijacking of
          a Lufthansa plane. The hijacking of this plane from Beirut turned out to be set
          up by the Germans and the Palestinians so as to give the Germans a reason to
          release the terrorists as the Germans wanted to wash their hands of the entire
          affair. Pictures of the hooded gunmen were flashed all over the world; they
          became the masked face of Palestinian resistance, the face of terror.

          1972-09-09
          Member of the Israeli embassy staff in London, England, killed by Palestinian
          letter bomb.

          Black September hijackers seize a Lufthansa flight from Beirut to Ankara, and
          gain the freedom of the three remaining Munich assailants.

          [ In 1972, what amounted to a full-fledged war of terror between the
          Palestinians and Israel complemented the escalating situation on the ground. In
          January, PLO raids from Lebanon against northern Israel prompted an Israeli
          incursion into that country and aerial attacks against PLO bases there as well
          as the first attack against Syria since the 1967 War. The Syrian aerial
          response came close to starting a full-scale war. Later PLO cross border
          activities resulted in similar land, air and sea clashes and further Israeli
          incursions which occasionally involved thousands of men. The Palestinian issue
          was alive, the raids against Israel and Black September terror tactics were
          successful; the United Nations and the rest of the world were left in no doubt
          that the defeat in Jordan had not finished off the PLO or Arafat's leadership. ]

          1973-03-01
          An eight man Black September hit squad shot their way into the Saudi Embassy in
          Khartoum where a farewell party was being held for American chargé d'affaires
          J. Curtis Moore. They took the guests hostage and made the usual demands for
          the freeing of prisoners in several countries. It was an affront to Sudan's
          President Ja'afar Numeiri, the man who had saved Arafat during the fighting in
          Amman, an insult to the Saudis, who had continued to fund the PLO, and a direct
          threat to American diplomats. The negotiations with the semi-literate
          terrorists got nowhere and the grisly episode ended with the cold-blooded
          murder in the embassy basement of Moore, the American Ambassador, Cleo Noel,
          and the Belgian chargé d'affaires, Guy Eid. The terrorists were in radio
          contact and receiving instructions from Beirut during the day long siege.

          [Even though the West was to be spared Palestinian terror the Middle East was
          not to be so fortunate and Lebanon was to suffer more than any other country at
          the hands of the Palestinians whose actions and those of their allies resulted
          in fifteen year war and the destruction of the Lebanese state.

          The Israelis were not going to take Palestinian terrorist attacks lying down
          and went on the offensive. Following the Munich massacre the Israelis sent out
          hit squads to take out those involved, the Israelis managed to assassinate two
          out of the three Palestinians that survived the shoot out at Munich and the
          Israelis also managed to liquidate at least a dozen others involved in the
          planning. Israeli actions reached a climax in March 1973 in the form of
          Operation Spring of Youth, the assassination by an Israeli hit squad in Beirut
          of PLO terrorist leaders Kamal Adwan, Mohammed Yusuf Al Najjar and Kamal
          Nassar.

          All of this was now too much for Arafat, his top terrorists were dropping like
          flies and all the attacks had achieved was a popular distaste towards the PLO
          and the Palestinians. Arafat decided it was time to quietly halt terror attacks
          against the West and so Black September for the most part vanished quietly into
          the night but its members continue to be hunted down. ]

          the Lebanese Army into action against the PLO.

          [Lebanon - The refugee camps were then surrounded and attacked by the army. In
          response to Palestinian shelling of the airport, the Lebanese Air Force was
          ordered into action against the Burj al-Barajina camp in Beirut. A state of
          emergency was declared throughout the country.
          As the fighting intensified, the PLO appealed to external allies for support.
          Algeria, Libya, and Syria promptly condemned the Lebanese government's actions.
          All three, together with Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, the United Arab
          Emirates, and the Arab League offered to mediate. Egypt and Syria-now planning
          what would become the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War-were particularly anxious
          to contain the conflict, and exerted considerable pressure to that end. This
          included the closure of the Syrian-Lebanese border on May 8, and the movement
          of Fateh and Sa'iqa forces from Syria to a few kilometers inside Lebanon.
          Fearing a Syrian invasion, the Lebanese looked for a way to end the fighting.

            [ Lebanon - On the eve of the war in 1975 the military balance in the country
            was largely in favour of the PLO. Of the eight PLO organisations, with a total
            strength of 22,900 troops, Fateh had the largest number of fighters (7,000) and
            was the best equipped, followed by Saiqa (4,500). The fighting force of other
            major organisations was of almost equal size, numbering about 2500 each. The
            distribution of armed men in seven major camps in October 1975 was as follows:
            al-Rashidiyeh (7,300), Ayn al-Helweh (4,500), Tal-Za'tar (3,225), Shatila
            (2,500), Nahr al-Band (1,700), al-Burj al-Shimali (1,625) and Borj al-Barajneh
            (1,300). Therefore, the largest concentration was in the south and the Beirut
            area. The Lebanese army was 19,000 strong. Only about half that number was a
            fighting force. The largest number of militiamen was that of the Kataeb Party
            (8,000), followed by the Lebanese Communist Party and the Progressive Socialist
            Party (5,000 each) and by the Syrian Social Nationalist Party and the National
            Liberal Party (4,000 each). Leftist, nationalist and Muslim-based parties,
            which were part of the LNM, had a total number of 18,700 militiamen and with
            the PLO the anti government forces numbered some 41,600 while Christian-based
            parties had 12,000. The break up of the army made the ratio worse for the
            Christian based parties as the result was 46,600 left wing troops against
            15,000 right wing troops.

            By the mid 1970s PLO conduct in Lebanon had reached incredible lows. Arafat's
            realm within Lebanon became known as the Fakhani Republic named after the
            district of Beirut where he had set up his headquarters, in large areas of
            Lebanon his authority was supreme. In a flagrant violation of Lebanese
            sovereignty the PLO set up road blocks, issued passes and travel documents,
            took over entire buildings, operated extortion rackets, protected criminals
            fleeing Lebanese justice, stole cars, expelled residents, and opened unlicensed
            shops, bars, and nightclubs. They even raped and murdered at will. Despite
            repeated pleas from his old guard and from Lebanese Christian leaders, Arafat
            did nothing to control the behaviour of his Palestinians.

            In a memorandum submitted to the Lebanese Chamber of Deputies on 7th November
            1975 by the Standing Conference of the Superior-Generals of the Monastic Orders
            of Lebanon, they state:
            'The Palestinian resistance interfere in Lebanese politics, in alliance with
            such groups as it believes can be of advantage to it, and openly try to bring
            them to power by calling upon them to cause disturbances even such as involve
            the use of arms, using external pressure on the Lebanese state through certain
            Arab countries when it seems to be in its interest to extract from the Lebanese
            authorities such privileges as have not been extracted before. The resistance
            also believes itself entitled to call openly upon the Lebanese to deny their
            political system, impeding the normal course of the constitutional and
            administrative institutions (the army, for example) by openly appealing to one
            or other of the Arab countries, which then pours in its money to direct the
            information media (and the press in particular) as it wishes, and, indeed, to
            mold them and to undermine their national role so as to suppress the expression
            of any opinion favorable to Lebanon in its own interest, providing a base and a
            refuge for international terrorism which can only be injurious to Lebanon."

            A year later, on 14th October 1976 Edward Ghorra, the Lebanese AmbAssador to
            the United Nations described the actions of the Palestinians to the UN General
            Assembly:
            "The Palestinians had transformed most, if not all, of the refugee camps into
            military bastions around our major cities. Moreover, common-law criminals
            fleeing from Lebanese justice find shelter and protection in the camps.
            Palestinian elements belonging to various splinter organizations resorted to
            kidnapping Lebanese and sometimes foreigners, holding them prisoner,
            questioning them, and even killing them. They committed all sorts of crimes in
            Lebanon and also escaped Lebanese justice in the protection of the camps. They
            smuggled goods into Lebanon and openly sold them on our streets. They went so
            far as to demand protection money from many individuals and owners of buildings
            and factories situated in the vicinity of the camps."

            Even strong supporters of the PLO had been moved to comment on the behavior of
            the Palestinians. In his book, I Speak for Lebanon, written in 1977 shortly
            before his death, Kamal Jumblat the main ally of the Palestinians in

            Lebanon wrote:
            "It has to be said that the Palestinians themselves, by violating Lebanese law,
            bearing arms as they chose and policing certain important points of access to
            the capital, actually furthered the plot that had been hatched against them.
            They carelessly exposed themselves to criticism and even to hatred. High
            officials and administrators were occasionally stopped and asked for their
            identity papers by Palestinian patrols. From time to time, Lebanese citizens
            and foreigners were arrested and imprisoned, on the true or false pretext of
            having posed a threat to the Palestinian revolution.]

            At Deir Ayach in Northern Lebanon, a monastery transformed in 1947 into a
            school was twenty eight years later attacked by Lebanese and Palestinians. The
            school had 960 children (660 Muslims) who mainly were attending at no cost.
            Three monks aged, respectively, 60, 78, and 93, the sole occupants of Deir
            Ayach on that day were murdered. The veins of the blind Boutros Sassine's arms
            were severed. Antoine Tamini was slaughtered, decapitated, and burned. Hanna
            Maksoud was found in his room, his throat cut. The Christian villagers living
            around the school monastery fled, and the aggressors destroyed their village.

              Palestinian terrorists ambushed and captured a bus on Israel's main highway
              near Tel Aviv, killing 35 Israelis and wounding more than 70. In result, IDF
              forces entered south Lebanon with the goal of putting a stop to Palestinian
              terrorism. This IDF intervention known as Operation Litani lasted for 7 days in
              which the IDF removed terrorists from south Lebanon, and ceased the advance
              when it reached the Litani River. This intervention led the UN Security Council
              to adopt Resolution 425, demanding Israel to cease all military action against
              Lebanon and withdraw its forces. Resolution 425 also called for the

              withdrawal, to assist in the restoration of peace and to restore the Lebanese
              government's authority in south Lebanon. In June 1978 the IDF withdrew its

                [1983, an agreement was signed by the representatives of Lebanon, Israel, and
                the United States that provided for Israeli withdrawal. Syria declined to
                discuss thewithdrawal of its troops, effectively stalemating further progress.
                Opposition to the negotiations and to U.S. support for the Gemayel regime led
                to a series of terrorist attacks in 1983 and 1984 on US interests, including
                the bombing on April 18, 1983 of the US embassy in west Beirut (63 dead), of

                compressed gas-enhanced explosives crashes through chain-link fences and barbed-
                wire entanglements. While guards open fire, the truck smashes through the doors
                of the four-story barracks and explodes, killing 241 U.S. servicemen as they
                sleep. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility. At almost the same time, a nearly

                blowing out the windows of the Republican cloakroom and throwing large chunks
                of plaster through the air. A group called the Armed Resistance Unit claims

                Suicide terrorists ram a truckload of explosives into the American and French
                embassies in Kuwait. Five people, but no Americans, are killed at the U.S.
                embassy, since the driver hits a small administrative annex rather than the
                crowded chancellery building. The explosion at the French embassy blows a 30-
                foot hole in the wall around the compound, but kills no one. Analysts later
                blame the attacks on the banned Al-Dawa party, a radical Shiite group with ties
                to Iran.

                  axes, shot, clubbed and burned with acid. Yasser Arafat defended the killing of
                  Arabs deemed to be "collaborating with Israel." He delegated the authority to
                  carry out executions to the intifada leadership. After the murders, the local
                  PLO death squad sent the file on the case to the PLO. "We have studied the
                  files of those who were executed, and found that only two of the 118 who were
                  executed were innocent," Arafat said. The innocent victims were
                  declared "martyrs of the Palestinian revolution" by the PLO.

                  PFLP alone carried out 122 terrorist attacks during 1991, resulting in the
                  murders of 18 residents of Israel and the territories. Crimes committed by
                  Fatah included the July 4 murder of a 61-year-old Arab villager near Jenin; the
                  September killing of Israeli Sgt. Yoram Cohen and the October murder of a man
                  found stabbed to death in a Gaza street, his head covered with a sack. A note
                  bearing the words "Force-17," denoting Arafat's personal bodyguard, was found
                  on the body ]

                  A bomb explodes in a van driven by the wife of U. S. Navy Captain Will C.
                  Rogers. She is unhurt. The attack is believed to be in retaliation for the July
                  1988 downing of an Iranian civil airliner by the USS Vincennes, commanded by
                  Capt. Rogers.

                  [ 1991-12-25 The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics dissolves. The fall of the
                  Soviet Union and the Eastern communist bloc leads to the dissolution of
                  remaining "Red" terrorist groups, especially with the opening of Soviet and
                  East German archives. 1991 and 1992 saw considerable advancement in efforts to
                  reassert state control over Lebanese territory. Militias--with the important
                  exception of Hizballah--were dissolved in May 1991, and the armed forces moved
                  against armed Palestinian elements in Sidon in July 1991. In May 1992 the last
                  of the western hostages taken during the mid-1980s by Islamic extremists
                  wasreleased.

                  In October 1991, under the sponsorship of the United States and the then-Soviet
                  Union, the Middle East peace talks were convened in Madrid, Spain. This was the
                  first time that Israel and its Arab neighbors had direct bilateral negotiations
                  to seek a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the Middle East. Lebanon,
                  Jordan, Syria, and representatives of the Palestinians concluded round 11 of
                  the negotiations in September 1993. ]

      Gratuluje Wieslaw swietnej roboty. Najciekawszy watek wystapil na poczatku w
      zwiazku z aktywna pomoca jaka dostal Arafat od sowieckich pacholkow rzadzacych
      PRL-em. Wyraznie widac, ze tak jak w pod carskim zaborem (Dmowski) tak w PRL-u
      (Gomulka, Moczar) polskojezyczni antysemici byli na sluzbie naszego zaborcy /
      okupanta. Pamietam wscieklosc jak ich nazwal Pawel Jasienica: CIEMNIAKOW, kiedy
      w 1967 roku Polacy zydowskiego i katolickiego obrzatku opijali zwyciestwo
      Izraela nad arabskimi masami niewolnikow wspomaganych hojnie przez imperium
      Sowieckie. To zwyciestwo bylo dla nas Polakow oznaka, ze po raz pierwszy od II
      wojny swiatowej Sowiecka strona mogla byc rozbita i to sromotnie przez malego
      Izraelskiego Dawida. Trudno bylo ukryc porownania z podobnym zwyciestwem
      Pilsudskiego z 1920 roku. Ta nadzieja z koleji wyzwolila Czechoslowacka wiosne
      z 1968 i intelektualna rewolucje w Polsce.

      Wtedy to wlasnie wzorem moskiewskiego slugi Dmowskiego, Gomulka i Moczar pod
      grozba interwencji Kremla zdusily zryw inteligencji rzucajac jednoczesnie
      najciemniejszym elementom plugawy antysemityzm.

      Ale udalo im sie odwlec wyzwolenie Ojczyzny tylko o 20 lat. Teraz wielbiciele
      Moczara pisza w ubikacjach no i na internecie.
